Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

Happy 2026, Dear One! - In today's episode, I share the practices that have sustained me in the past year, and which I'll continue to use this year for daily balance and healing.    I touch on... How tending to "home base" builds your capacity to show up anywhere else How overstretching leads to resentment, and eventually strained relationships (including with yourself) The magical way that gratit...

Today's episode expands on an insight that has been with me for a while: Our bodies are the vessels / channels for the prayer -- for all that we want to be made manifest in this physical realm.  This is related to childbirth, as well as birthing anything else in our lives--a business, a creative project, a loving relationship, a new career, and more.    If you enjoyed this episode, please share it...

Today's episode is with my dear sister, Abi Ighodaro, who's based in Ireland. Abi is an artist drawn to nature, ritual, and the quiet language of the body. She joins today's conversation as part of an ongoing exploration of her relationship with the body—especially through movement—as a site of memory and learning, and offers these reflections simply as part of a shared journey among sisters. Toge...

I had the pleasure of sitting with Brigid Harris, a beloved in our Birth Warrior community whom I first connected with four years ago. We've stayed in touch as penpals of sorts and had the opportunity to do some deep healing work together.  It was a gift to receive this offering of Brigid's story and hearing her share openly about the tender places she continues to navigate as she calls in her bab...

Today's interview with Dr. Naha Pandya pulls the curtain away so we can see the huge gaps in both information and care as it relates to the postpartum period. Dr. Pandya, who's the founder of The Recovery Method shares the challenges she faced after childbirth, including postpartum depression.

It's 2025! Hello, Dear One and Happy New Year! Today's episode walks us through what it's like to be pregnant after a loss or traumatic prior experience related to birthing or pregnancy. I also share ways that those experience can impact your relationship with your partner. And what I'm MOST excited about is to share that I'll be hosting a 5-week group container starting the first week of Feb 2025...

Donette first joined us for an interview in 2020 ( Ep 13: Pregnancy & Loss in a Foreign Country ). Today, she's sharing how her journey has unfolded over the past four years. This includes three pregnancies (including being pregnant with twins) and curveball after curveball with unexpected losses, medical support, invasive procedures, the birth of a preemie, and life in the NICU.   I marvel at wha...

We're taught to erase our scars, that they get in the way of our beauty and perfection. What's been coming up for me that led to this episode is the wisdom that scars are the physical manifestation of the lives we've lived. They are a part of the stories our bodies hold. They can be evidence of both our pain and growth.  I wonder if as souls we ever held the intention to not go through pain. Or wa...

Our bodies are portals for creation. We have the ability to birth many, many expressions of life. But when our mainstream culture tells us that our worthiness is tied into birthing children, it creates a disconnection within ourselves if we accept that lie.    Today's episode is an Instagram Live recording where I speak to:  Staying in connection with ourselves and our sense of worthiness regardle...

The podcast is changing, beloved. In beautiful ways though. I've been feeling called to expandind into other topics that speak to the whole of us...or the very least, more of us. These topics include our connection to ourselves, our connection to the earth, the healing of our families and intimate relationships, the systems in our society that lead to pain and stress in our lives, and more.  Some...

You don't have to smile. You don't.  I've been sitting with what it would be like to have a world where we can each show up with all the emotions that are present with us—showing up with the grief, the regret, the fear, the frustration—without feeling the need to "fix" yourself or those emotions before being in the room again.  This episode explores the cultural patterns that train us into smiling...

In today's episode, I get to share more about one of my favorite healing practices with you: Somatic Therapy (also known as Embodiment Healing).

Today's episode is about permission and grace. If you're a mom/parent to angel babies, I encourage you to really give yourself the permission to do whatever supports your energy around this time. I also share how I respond when I'm asked if I'm a mother.  And if you're currently parenting or caretaking kiddos who are physically here, I shed light on the lie that we need to strive to be perfect mot...

Today's episode is a prayer, an invitation to soften, to be gentle with yourself.  There's sometimes the belief–even if unconscious–that softening might transform someone into becoming weak or diminish their ability to be resilient. I've observed and experienced the opposite: that it's ignoring the body's invitation to soften that eventually leads to shut down and disconnection. The softening, the...

I used to think that my healing journey needed to look a certain way and have a definite outcome. That eventually--no matter how long it took--I needed to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix then tell the world about it.  Sitting with the realness of my unpredictable, and sometimes messy healing journey has taught me that there is no model for what healing should look like. You are an original. Y...

Feeling as though you're suffering in silence is perhaps one of the most common experiences after going through a loss. Silence and solitude might be exactly what you need in the earlier stages of your healing journey. And at some point, the silence or isolation may no longer support your healing.    In this episode, I share: When silence and solitude are in service of our healing and  When silenc...

The "Spiritual Bypass" is often intended to be a reminder that we're spiritual beings having a human experience. It can also be used to dismiss or diminish our very real human experiences, which leads to us holding on to hurt instead of processing and releasing it.    In this episode, I share: How the Spiritual Bypass showed up in my experience  How it can be harmful if it's showing up in yours  W...

Today's guest is Nicole JeanBaptiste, whom we met in Ep 20 of the podcast on "Honoring the Black Birthing Experience".

Hi Beloved - Have you been waiting for your comeback? To "uplevel" your life or quickly have another baby to  show that your life after loss is better than before? I share the imbalances in our culture that are at the root of this, how it showed up in my own experience after loss, and why inner healing is necessary.  If this resonates with you, be sure to share it with someone else who might need...

I consider myself a life-long learner, so it means a lot when I say that Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of the single most important practices I've learned. As my teacher, Steve Torma, puts it, Compassionate Communication isn't just a tool for communication but a shift in consciousness.    I've referred Compassionate Communication to clients of mine beca...

I had the pleasure of working with Tia during her pregnancy as her "space-holder," resource-connector, co-strategist, and emotional healing guide. I've been excited to share our follow-up conversation because Tia's story is such a powerful example of what's possible when pregnancy and birth are supported by community—family, friends, and professionals who are equally competent as they are caring. ...

Today's episode features one of my favorite Birth & Postpartum Doulas, Kris Bailey. Knowing that you can add a Birth and Postpartum Doula to your birthing team helps to take the "scary" out of childbirth. And so, I'm thrilled to have Kris share more about how doulas can improve your birthing experience.    Kris is also the founder of Birth Sent Lisi, an organization whose mission is to inform, edu...
